The meeting was a very harmonious ono
and combined pleasure with business. It
began with a HUbsUmtlal supper at C30
o'clock and It was after the Inner man was
satisfied that buslnccs wan taken , up. Uc-
nldo'i the election of olflcers , the reports of
the ictlrlng officers of the old board and per
tinent remarks by those present made up
the program of the evening. Moro than half
the directory was present.
When cigars had been served , President
Dumont summoned the gathering to order
nnd called upon Secretary Utt for his an
nual report. The report woa nn exhaustive
ono fltid covered the work of the jear. It
dealt first with the Merchants' bureau as
follows
"Tho custom prevails In our largo cities
of bringing In the merchants from the tcril-
tory tributary to the cltj. The Merchants'
bureau of this club has adopted this plan
and twice during the fall for a term of ten
dajs each secured special rates from the
rallroido from all points In lova , north Mis
souri , the Dakotas , Nebraska Kataas , Colorado
rado , Wjomlng and Ut ih , nnd Invited ecveral
thousand merchants to visit Omaha and buj
goods Several hundred availed themselves
of our hospitality and bought heavily , and
among the number many new customers vvero
fcecnred The bureau la now considered a
pormamncj and wo expect to crowd our
hotels , factories and stoics with these mer
chants again la Tebruarj and later In M.iuh.
The bureau Is fcilpported b > everj jobber In
OiiMlia and Is eric of the indications of the
harmonizing effect of the club in bringing
our business men closer together "
INDIAN SUPPLY DEPOT.
The securing of the Indian supply depot
Is spoken of as a noteworthy feature of the
3 car Local merchants are urged to prove
to the Indian commissioner the superiority
of Omaha ns a purchasing market for In
dian supplies In order that Omaha Jobbers
may have as manv of the bids as possible
located here The work of the club in se
curing conventions for the coming jear Is
also emphasized. It Is stated that the club
Is now turning Its attention , In connec
tion with the exposition management , to
the formulation of a bureau of entertain
ment , which is to list and svstcmatlzc the
lodging and boarding facilities of the city
for the convenience of visitors
Regarding factories the reports saj * that
hut few of these have been secured , owing
to the fact that the development of the
city has not reached the factory period ,
but the necessity of securing such estab
lishments In the near futuie. Among
those mentioned ns especially desirable are
n cereal mill , a beet sugar factorj' , n
woolen mill , a straw board mill and a starch
mill. Mention is made of the possibilities
of a now product In canalcro as follows :
" rho club has taken up the subject of
raising canalgro In Nebraska. The Indica
tions arc this can bo accomplished. This
leads to the question of tanning the hides
produced In our state. H has not been
profitable to operate tanneries because of
the high cost of tanbark. Caimlgro contains
40 per cent tannle acid and will tan leather
In twenty-four hours , while tanbark re
quires three months. If we can raise ca
nalgro in Nebraska wo can produce the
cheapest leather In the world. Anjhow ,
canalgro Is raised in California , Arizona
and other sections It contains such a high
per cent of tannle add , the disability at
tending the shipment of tanbark la removed
and wo can now establish tanneries to ad-
vantngo in Omaha , If wo can raise capital
nnd later may raise our own canaigre. Fol
lowing tanneries are shoe and other fac
tories using leather that are the basis for
the omplojmcnt of thousands of people"
The report speaks of the removal at the
Tcijuist of the club of discriminating tele
graph ratca to points in Nebraska. The club
Is given credit for securing the National In
dian Institute , held hero last summer. Speak
ing of the ircsults of this meeting the report
"Tho government officials In attendance
were taken to Fort Omaha and after close
examination stated the premises were well
adapted to establishing an Indian Industrial
school similar to Carlisle and that there was
a necessity for such a school. The result Is
that a bill which will pass Is now before
oongicss providing for the establishment of
Mich a school , to accommodate at least 1,000
persons. "
RAILRO'AD ' MATTERS.
In connection w Ith railroad matters the
club Is ci edited with securing a local train
service between Auburn and this cltj' . Men
tion Is also made of a promise of the Bur
lington that a local service Is to bo put on
between Omaha and St. Joseph , which -will
also glvo an additional through train to St.
iLouls Consideration has also been given to
the question of rail load transportation , The
rlnli Is commended for the fact that through
its efforts no discrimination In Tales against
Omahi has developed during the year and
that several roads hive promised to readjust
classifications which at present discriminate
against Omaha shippers. The following
icfcrcnco Is made to the removal of the
Ibrldgo toll by the Port Arthur Route *
"Ono grievance has been the bridge tolls
JIB addei to Iowa rates on business between
Iowa points and Omaha and South Omaha.
Tlilh has been a source of ( ontcntlou to our
bhlppors for jrars that has grown as our
trade has grown , and wo are pleased to state
that uo have made some Inroad on this bar
rier of unjust rates. The opening of the
Port Arthur route to Omaha has brought
thU about The nets In the case vvero pre
sented to their officials and they have recog
nized the Injustice and removed the bridge
charges on all freight currlcl between points
on their line In Iowa and Missouri and
Omaha and South Omaln We hope other
load * will see the rank Injustice the same
ns the m > w read and act accordingly "
The club has now 310 pnjlng members ,
nighty of whom wcro secured In the last
sixty dajs It is said that the club has

outlook for the future lit vcr > promising

isplrlt that I i being shown. Regarding this
the report nays
"Whllo the club has been commended , the
prosperity of our city and state Is the
HtronRcst Incentive to this public spirit. Dur
ing the last six months Omaha shows a
larger per cent of Increase In clearance re
ports than any city In the Union. The Job
bing business for the year was f 52,000,000. ,
an Increase of 35 per cent ; the manufactur
ing business was $110.000.000 , Including
packing house product and output from the
smelting and refining works , an Increase of
? 33 000,000 Armour's packing house , the
new union depot , the exposition , all tend to
clovato and strengthen our faith. The basis
of these favorable conditions , however , Is
Nebraska crops Nebraska had on hand this
jear 600,000,000 bushels of grain. It will
market 2,000.000 cattle , 3000,000 hogs and
D.0000.000 sheep To this may bo added
13,000.000 pounds of siiRir. $12,000 000 worth
of cheese and butter and abundance of xege-
tables fruit and chicory , poultry and eggs
produced In 1S97. If the grass ranges of
this state ivcrc all utlllrod and thp available
hay secured these , with the grain crop , would
fatten 10.000 000 cattle , 15,000,000 hogs and
25000,000 ehecp Can anyone doubt that the
metropolis of Nebraska will rank among the
great cities of the world ? "
